San Francisco is a city of immense beauty—be it the charming neighborhoods such as Castro/Upper Market or landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge—and even denser fog.
You may ride its history up a steep hill in a cable car or ferry to Alcatraz Island, and sample its flavor in a bite of tangy sourdough bread or a full-course meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant. And you may witness its continuing transformation into the home of world-renown tech entrepreneurs. While New York is the city that never sleeps, San Francisco is the city that never stops charging forward.

With Lyft, you can request a private car service, or use the shared car service called “Lyft Line”. This is useful when travelling with another person because you get a shared discounted rate. Uber has a similar service called “Uber Pool” with rides running at a flat rate of $7. To use any of these services, set a pick-up location and end destination and within minutes, you will be matched with a driver. Make sure to communicate with your driver; call, text, or wave down their car.
